In reply to: How to Change DEFAULT Page AFTER loginYes, it was and was for another site….
I am working with another site now and with ver 2.6.1
I am not interested in a Plugin solution…
I feel that a user should be able to login and go DIRECTLY to the “View Page” view of the WP system without having to be forced into the Dashboard…. New users are confused with the dashboard and are looking for a simple, clean login….
I have now seen yet another post for the very dsame issue…. In troubleshooting…should be on top at the time of this writing.

Perdido Beach, ALMOSHU,
I use 1and1 host sucessfully for several domains and have found them quite good. WordPress manual install and updates have been easy and went well with 1and1. I also have a few domains on BlueHost…one also running WP. What have been the issues with 1and1 and WPress ??

OK, for my Upgrade problem with a BLANK INDEX page showing…
I went to my site this way… http://www.MYSITE.com/YOUR WP DIR/wp-login
I ran the LOGIN script as indicated above and CHANGED the THEME to CLASSIC. Exited and went back to my site…
VIOLA…. The page came up just fine and everything is there , all users, all posts..etc… Seems the upgrade was confused from a previous THEME.Now all I have to do is change the way a user sees WP just after logging in…but that will be another topic…

In reply to: Installed fine, dashboard area fine, home page is blankYes, he is correct.
I am the one that did the upgrade and I still have a BLANK forum page… PITS
and I trusted the upgrade procedure….
Big Mistake…
It did update my DB and says I am ready to go “No Update Needed”…
and it does take me back to my main page…however, it is BLANK..hehe
Wonderful….
Is there something in the base startup files that tell WP what theme to use…. maybe it is trying to use one of the several old themes I had installed and deleted for the upgrade ?ANY EXPERT HELP ?

In reply to: HOW To Go From Login DIRECTLY to SITE VIEWThanks for clearing up what I wanted.
I did , in fact, want the result of clicking on the “View Site” which is the Main Blog Page or as you so eloquently put it, the “Front Page”.
I have engaged the plugin you so kindly referred me to, however, I have yet to find the “Options” tab, subheading “Login Redirect” that is referenced in the plugin readme… Your idea is perfect and would surely work if only I could find the reference made by the author.
..AND, I do apprecite the assistance.

In reply to: HOW To Go From Login DIRECTLY to SITE VIEWActually, it is what I wanted…If you go to a Default presentation without any plugins..or actually with plugins and go to the DASHBOARD, you will see (above all the menu selections) the word VIEW SITE.
View Site, is there by default, not placed by me. The creators of WP recognize that term as a link to go to the MAIN PAGE of the BLOG… that is all I wanted to do… Seems simple but still evades me….
All I want the visitor to do is go to the MAIN BLOG PAGE (View Site) after login and NOT to be taken to a DASHBOARD full of confusing terms.
Thanks for your reply and any assistance would really be appreciated.Steve
